The park officially opened commercially on July 11, 2023.

The Acting Director of the park, Edward Quao, told Citi News the money was needed to run the facility.

“We have new facilities in the Park, and we need money to maintain them and so if we don’t put these measures in place, it will be really difficult for us to maintain them.”

The government expects the park to attract one million tourists annually from Ghana and abroad.
